What do you guys find is best to eat before a swim meet?

  • I use 50% gatoraide(1/2 gatoraide,1/2 water ) as gatoraide alone is too concentrated for me and upsets my stomach. At World Masters Games in 1985 in Toronto I bought a Whopper and fries on the way to the pool. That didn't agree with me and at the 100 M point of the 200 M Br I was sure I was going to throw up. The only reason I didn't stop at that point was I was ahead of guys I had never been ahead of before. I ended up with my best time ever. I have no explanation for that and I don't recommend Whoppers before swimming.
